Fortune has learned some early Uber shareholders did sell stock back to the company earlier this year, including at least one at around the aforementioned $135 per share price (which works out to a valuation just south of $4 billion).
The stock pays a big 7% dividend. Sandler OâNeill (which is also TAXIâs investment bank) placed a buy rating on the stock in August, saying the threat of Uber is overblown and that the company is finding revenue from other businesses outside of rides. You should be warned that as a cab proxy, TAXI isnât perfect.
